Synopsis
The Curse of Steptoe
In the early 1960s aspiring stage actor Harry H. Corbett jumps at the chance to play junk-dealer Harold Steptoe in a television comedy show 'Steptoe and Son'. However, the show's success proves to be a poisoned chalice for him, type-casting him and thwarting his stage ambitions. Wilfrid Brambell, the actor playing his father, is marginalized in a different way. He is a gay man in an England where homosexuality is still illegal.
The Ocean Between Them
A family vacation in Belize turns into a nightmare when a sudden storm strands a young kayaker named Miranda at sea, prompting her mother, Joan, to launch a desperate search.
